Sensory material architectures: Concepts and methodologies for spatial tectonics and tactile respons As the knowledge of material computation advances, continuing the seamless integration of design and fabrication, questions beyond materialization can be addressed with a focus on sensing, feedback, and engagement as critical factors of design exploration. This article will discuss a series of prototypes, design methodologies, and technologies that articulate a textile?s micro-architecture, at the scale of fibers and stitches, to instrumentalize simultaneous structural, spatial, and sensory-respAuthor(s): Ahlquist, Sean

Generic Representations and the Generic Grid: Knowledge Interface, Organisation and Support of the ( Computer Aided Design requires the implementation of architectural issues in order to support the architectural design process. These issues consist of elements, knowledge structures, and design processes that are typical for architectural design. The paper introduces two concepts that aim to define and model some of such architectural issues: building types and design processes. The first concept, the Generic grid, will be shown to structure the description of designs, provide a form-based hierAuthor(s): Achten, H.H., Bax, M.F.Th. and Oxman, R.M.
